Taking it one day at a time

The doctor appointment went really good yesterday.Our lil guy now weighs 2lbs 5oz! All the doctors were very excited to see both the lungs! The head to lung ratio was a 2.1, the past visits it has been a 1.1 then a 1.6 then a 1.3 which means 2.1 was very exciting to hear! I have 3 different people that do measurements and then they take the average between the 3 and one of them even got a 2 . 7 which is amazing! We have to hope and pray that the lungs continue to grow for another 3 weeks and the head to lung ratio goes up, after the 3 weeks we expect the head to lung to go down b/c then the gel will be gone. The higher we can get it in the next 3 weeks the better :) They said that the gel seems to be doing exactly what it is suppose to be doing, so we had a good take ! Dr. Valastos said that in the past if the gel has taken like ours has then we should continue to see growth. We took a tour of the NICU, that will be my home for a while after he is born. Thank you all for the prayers they seem to be working so please keep them coming we still have a long road ahead of us. Most of all lets hope he stays put inside for at least another 70 days ! In the mean time he is having a blast kicking away in there and I am loving every minute of it !

About Me

My husband and I are expecting our 1st baby on August 19th, 2011. Having a baby is something I had though about since the day we got married almost 3 years ago, little did we know how much of a miracle baby we truly would have. On April 12th our lil guy got diagnosed with Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
